A local youth group advocating for better mental health services is praising cross-partisan support from political leaders.
Future Majority, an organization which aims to amplify the voices of young Canadians so every candidate, politician and party is an advocate for youth priorities, says there has always been a lack of mental health support, and that the pandemic has only exacerbated the issue.
Future Majority volunteer Angelique Dack says now, more than ever, Canadians, particularly young Canadians, are experiencing increased mental health challenges and are looking for support. She says mental health has been a struggle for her this past year as well.
